Received the bird in good condition. It’s vibrant and lively. I’ve noticed it foraging near the perches and seems to adapt well to the enclosure. A bit shy at first, but now it’s more confident.

The bird looks impressive and matches the description. It’s not very vocal, but it’s active and seems healthy. I would recommend it to others with a quiet, natural setting.
